THE EFFECT OF KNEE JOINT COOLING ON ISOKINETIC TORQUE PRODUCTION OF THE KNEE EXTENSORS: CONSIDERATIONS FOR APPLICATION.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCryotherapy is commonly used in sport for the management of injury or during recovery, however the effects on concentric isokinetic strength appear unclear when considering the effect of joint cooling distal to the anterior thigh. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of cooling of the knee joint on quadriceps concentric isokinetic torque production. The results will inform the use of cryotherapy in practice. STUDY
designObservational cohort, Repeated Measures.
methodsFourteen healthy male participants volunteered to take part in the study, all of whom regularly played competitive sports (mean age 20.24 ± 1.51years; body mass 80.34 ± 11.34Kg and height 179.45 ± 6.59cm). 800 g of crushed ice was applied over the anterior knee joint for 20 minutes. Concentric quadriceps strength was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer (IKD) by measuring concentric peak (PkT) and average torque (AvT) outputs at pre-, immediately post and 20 minutes post cooling intervention. Additionally, skin surface temperature (T

conclusionsIsokinetic peak torque values of the quadriceps diminish after cryotherapy application to the knee joint and are not fully recovered at 20 minutes post application on the knee. These findings could have potential implications for participation in activity immediately following ice application. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2b.
